The objectives of this report are: to review Canadian literature on Aboriginal infant, child, and maternal health programs; to describe those programs; to identify program approaches that have been successful and less successful; and to make recommendations for future programs. Chapter 1 introduces the range of programs described in the literature. Chapter 2 presents the criteria with which selected maternal/child programs were assessed, concerning the demonstration of appropriateness, adequacy, effectiveness, and efficiency, and the assessment of side effects. Chapter 3 is a detailed review of 22 programs about which the most information was found, using the criteria previously identified. Chapter 4 provides further analysis and comparison of the 22 programs in terms of successfully meeting the evaluation criteria. Programs that are both culturally appropriate and able to demonstrate effectiveness and efficiency are identified. Chapter 5 summarizes various issues that emerged in the review, including the need to make programs more culturally relevant and the need to share expertise

We collected data for the study from 1,396 nurses employed at three large teaching hospitals in Southern Ontario (Hamilton Health Sciences, Kingston General Hospital, and St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto) using the New Health Care Worker Questionnaire. Results indicate that although a substantial majority of the nurses were employed in the type of job that they preferred, problems of stress, burnout and physical health problems were reported. Further, these problems affected the nurses' job satisfaction, commitment, and propensity to leave the hospitals. Keywords: health care workers; employment status; nurses; job satisfaction; commitment; stress; burnout; physical health problems; MSD; propensity to leave."
